   I welcome all contributions. Please include addresses, information (do
   they accept overseas orders? local or any currency? etc) and comments
   with your suggested additions. I will take contributions from both
   private parties and from the companies themselves. Extremely
   specialized topics are fine. I prefer catalogues that inventory at
   least 90% books, please don't send me information about catalogues
   that contain only the occasional book. Thank you!

   I make no guarantees as to the correctness of each entry. If you spot
   anything that needs correcting, let me know and I will update.

   Phone numbers are supplied "as is." Especially when phoning to another
   country, you will have to verify the proper prefix codes that you must
   dial.

       Major international booksearch. The client supplies
       author(s)/title(s) and any other relevant information. I can also
       search by narrowly defined subject area. I can advise on likely
       success and am always pleased to help the client organise and
       prioritise search requirements. I'm equally at ease with 'one-off'
       searches and major specialist collection-building.

       The search works very simply for the customer. If/when I locate a
       title I report to the customer giving full details of the
       copy(ies) offered and quoting an all expenses paid, delivered
       price. The customer may decline the offer for any reason - there's
       no obligation - and no fees are charged. It should be borne in
       mind though that processing costs and mailing are incorporated
       into the quoted price so it's not realistic to expect a book to be
       offered at shelf-price.

       If you take up the offer prepayment is required, usually by VISA
       or MASTERCARD though sterling cheque is OK as are money orders.
       Non sterling currency acceptable subject to an extra conversion
       charge (levied by my bank - not me) of the equivalent of stlg5. In
       the near future I hope to be able to offer AMEX and payment in $
       (USD).

       All books are guaranteed to be as described, fully refundable if
       not. Although I'm UK based I'm familiar with mailing books to all
       corners. I quite frequently arrange mailing from US based dealers
       to US customers. The aim is to get the books to the customer as
       conveniently and cost-effectively as possible..

       Lastly.. if you SELL books.. why not check out my regular WANTS
       LISTS in rec.arts.books. marketplace or on

       Postal book service, specialising in second-hand works on all
       aspects of sexuality. Catalogues on various subjects issued on a
       fairly regular basis. Of particular interest are the "Special" and
       "Vintage Paperback" catalogues. The first lists uncommon items of
       erotica and related material of a bibliographical and historical
       character. The "Vintage Paperback" catalogues are extensive,
       seldom less than 1,000 items, and include erotic literature
       published by Brandon House, the Olympia Press (Paris and New
       York), Collector's Publications, Greenleaf Classics, etc. The
       entries in both catalogues are often accompanied by useful
       bibliographical notes incorporating information not easily found
       elsewhere. The real names of pseudonymous authors are given, where
       known by the compiler. Due to the size of the "Vintage Paperback"
       catalogue, there is a charge for a copy. However, the catalogues
       are handy reference works in themselves, and worth the price on
       that account, and their cost is deducted from the bill of any
       books you buy.

Book Clubs

   Note that many book clubs are actually operated by the same company.
   In this case, the company is listed with its satellite clubs. The
   lists are not complete, so if you notice gaps, addresses and
   corrections are welcomed. I know for example that Doubleday BC,
   Literary Guild and SFBC are all under the same company, but I don't
   know the company name.

   A tip regarding the book clubs that require you to send back a "no"
   notification for the current selection (also known as "negative
   response"): you can save yourself some postage and hassles by
   informing them that you travel a lot or have an irregular schedule and
   to switch your status to a positive response (mail the card in only
   when you want a book). Most clubs will do this.

   BSBISY = "buy several books in several years".

   Most clubs have some sort of bonus plan: free books or substantial
   price reductions after the purchase of so many books. There are
   usually substantial savings when joining the club: several books for a
   dollar, for example.

     * Book Of the Month Club, Inc.

            get a bonus certificate, allowing you to buy any book listed
            for about half price. Regular club prices are approximately
            20% less than published prices.

            Although the selection is mixed, a few gems appear from time-
            to-time to make it worthwhile. Although it's a "negative
            response" club, the time period between receipt of the reply
            card and the shipment of the book is very generous, much more
            than the advertised 10 days. Also, once your initial purchase
            obligation has been completed, you can easily call them and
            be switched to "positive response" status.

       Founded in 1949, the book club is open to every one (person or
       organization) inside and outside Germany. Subscription is DM
       14.-(students DM 7.-)/year plus obligation of purchase of 1 book a
       year. There is a possibility of group-memberships. Ask for details
       directly. The club is a mainly a publisher in itself which edits
       literature in sciences, social sciences and humanities, but offers
       some books by other companies as well. As book-prices are fixed in
       Germany there is not always a possibility of economies when
       purchasing books by other publishers. The books of the club itself
       are cheaper than in the book store. The club/publishing house is
       most famous for a series called "Wege der Forschung" (paths of
       research), which re-prints important articles and chapters of
       books from the history of the research into a specific subject
       (covering sciences, social sciences, humanities). BUT EVERYTHING
       IN GERMAN, with the exception that in the mentioned series some
       numbers have parts in original and some do translate them. There
       are other series as well including editions of classical texts,
       over- views of and introductions into special fields of research.
       The club additionally offers a selection of arts and artisan
       works, the latter often remakes of historical artisan work e.g.
       keltish etc. These are offered in an extra catalogue. (From member
